      I had inquired about this to Vigo Ltd. and they replied with a link to a site explaining how to read a hydrometer. I don't think it's a...

      There are two ways to report TA, as g/L or as a percentage (w/v), which is 1/10 of the g/L number (eg 6g/L would be 0.6%). I prefer g/L...

      That would be diacetyl, right? This is a nice resource regarding how to modulate various effects of ML...
